Hi, David.
does enclosing your XML in a CDATA section help? It should just get written out without being interpreted, and it works for me in the toolfactory - the contents still get written out but without the CDATA section.

<configfiles>
    <configfile name="loadTestxml">
<![CDATA[
<!DOCTYPE crystal SYSTEM "/usr/share/sgml/crystal.dtd">
<!--- Load a pos file called "babla.pos" -->
<crystal>
<version value="0.0.1"/>
<posload name="${posfile}"/>
</crystal>
]]>
     </configfile>
 </configfiles>

Hello,
 
I have a tool that takes an XML file as input.
So I thought it would be a good idea to put it in the <configfiles> tag, to replace some of the variables.
 
Quick example :
 
....
<inputs>
<param name="posfile" type="data" label="Posfile" help="Posfile you want to input to POSGEN" format="pos" />
</inputs>
 
<configfiles>
    <configfile name="loadTestxml">
<!DOCTYPE crystal SYSTEM "/usr/share/sgml/crystal.dtd">
<!--- Load a pos file called "babla.pos" -->
<crystal>
<version value="0.0.1"/>
<posload name="${posfile}"/>
</crystal>
     </configfile>
 </configfiles>
....
 
But when I load the tool configuration, it seems that the XML in <configfile> is interpreted, and/or I don't get anything in the input file.
 
Is there a way to do what I want ?
 
Cheers,
